Sharon Wheeler's BoneWork in Central London
Accidents, injuries and surgeries can leave bones out of place, creating movement restrictions, or bones can stick together causing long term problems. These bone-to-bone adhesions are at the level of the fascia of the outside of the bone.

BoneWork works with the continuum between connective soft tissue (“fascia”) and bone and looks to unwind and unhook disorganised bones and joints from the distorted fascial patterns which are holding them in place. It is an inquiry into the fascial plasticity of bone to help resolve poorly healed fractures and distorted bony relationships.
Through no fault on the part of surgeons, a high percentage of surgeries leave you with bone issues. Things do not go back exactly where they were, and even exclusively soft tissue surgeries can often affect joint function due to the change of tension in the ligaments, tendons and muscles around the surgery. The work also addresses badly healed bones, |

We imagine that bone is rigid and brittle like pottery, but in the living body, bone is flexible and in a constant state of adaptation.

Cranial Integration
Cranial Integration is a branch of BoneWork which focuses on issues with the neck and head. Problems here are both significant in their own right and can throw off the balance of the whole body. They are also often very visible. In Cranial Integration we work with bone, cartilage and soft tissue and are able to address various types of cranial issue, from impact trauma (concussion, car accidents), recovery from brain surgery, babies with misshapen skulls, facial and cranial scarring, TMJ issues (TMD), hard palate issues, neck issues (including whiplash), damage to cartilage (noses, ears), and facial surgery (eg tumor removal). This is something to try before you go down the route of cosmetic surgery. |
Pelvic Integration
BoneWork for the pelvis is targeted at problems with the sacrum, coccyx, pelvis and femur, which are often damaged, bent or broken through falls, and other impact trauma. It is invaluable postnatally (whether there was a C section or not), and for pelvic or abdominal surgery.
